It is a consortium project of three research institutions and 13 high schools from different slovenian regions. We organize research camps, round tables, excursions to our labs, workshops on schools, scientific lectures and research work of high-school strudents in the state-of-the-art laboratories. From November 2012 there were over 4000 high school student participations (some students participated in more than one activity) in our activities. The main aim of the project is to bring up a new generation of motivated and interdisciplinary young scientists with high ethical standards.
